Overview
Founded June 23, 2003
The United Continent of Antarctica123 is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.777 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defense, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing (Antarcticorp) and Uranium Mining.
A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is moderate. Antarctica123's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Polar Ice Dollar.
Cities
A typical city in Antarctica123, with underground levels shown
Much of Antarctica's population lives in one of the 6 great dome cities, the domed underwater city "New Atlantis" or in and around the 70 smaller domed cities, some of which have been linked to form communities larger than even the great dome cities. The insides of these cities are magnificent gardens, lakes, farms and forests. You would never know you were in Antarctica from the interior of the cities.
Infrastructure
Antarctica123 is loaded with manufacturing plants, mining operations, ore processing facilities, foundries and other heavy industrial buildings. In 2005 an international project to create a a "stovepipe" which would reach the upper atmosphere and repair the ozone hole was created. The ozone tower project was completed in 2006, but restoring the ozone layer to its proper density will take a few more months. Once the ozone is repaired, the "Stovepipe" can begin the 25 year project that will convert it into a space-elevator.
Military
The Military of Antarctica123 is focused on ground security and air defense, with the only real offensive arm being the Navy. The standard Assault Rifle for both the Army and the Navy is the M-7 7.62mm Assault rifle, M-48B and M-240J are the primary machine guns employed. The army has been intent on changing primary assault rifle caliber to an intermediate round for quite some time. The smaller scale intermediate rounds -such as 5.56mmNATO -would not be effective against the imported rabid Antarctic Polar Bear population which has been a nuisance that has plagued army encampments for many years. Because of this smaller rounds were never adopted. Antarcticorp is slowly developing a convertible assault rifle which will fire intermediate round in the 6.5mm range and then convert to fire a .50 caliber round of the same length. In the meantime, Antarctica123 has been perusing the international weapons markets for a stopgap weapon. Static defenses account for 80% of the Army's assets, while the few armored units have been making wide use of the ST-280 "Arctic Fox" snow vehicle and its many variants, although some other vehicles are employed such as modifications the Stryker family of light armored vehicles. The Navy employs Ultra-Class Battlecarriers and Norad class Battleships in it's 3 surface fleets, and a variety of submarines, both nuclear and non-nuclear in its subsurface warfare division. The Army and the Navy each have their own air wings and the space command operates separately from the other 2 services.
